Re: [ANN] GameCoin (GME) - MANDATORY UPDATE to v0.8.1 before August 15th
I'm sorry, but you're not "just mining". You appear to be exhibiting very hostile mining habits. You throw your hash rate at a coin with a low difficulty until it retargets causing a massive difficulty increase. At which point you then leave that coin/blockchain and jump to another one. In the process bringing the network to a halt/slow crawl. After hours of others mining and trying to get the coin to recover with a lower difficulty which matches the network hash, you come back and repeat the process.
Despite what you say, I see no evidence of your supposed 110 mhs still on the network.
You are essentially attacking the coin by means of a high difficulty attack.
This is not something that happens accidentally, it is an intentional attack on this and various other coins that you mine with the same method.
Watching the blockchain and the rate which blocks are solved, you can clearly see the start of the difficulty attack by tanking the network, and the damage it inflicts when you leave.
Please prove me wrong on this assumption.
I'm not attacking Gamecoin, if I wanted GME dead it would be dead as I was more than 75% of the networkhashps for about 24 hours and could easily be 90% or better with a few tweaks. All I am doing is mining and switching coins when it becomes more profitable, you know kinda like a few pools and a lot of miners do with alt coins using Coinchoose. I just don't use Coinchoose pool or software.
The reason the drop is drastic when I quit mining is that while I am mining a lot of fair weather miners pull off due to the diff rise and mine elsewhere. So when I leave you get a combined effect.
FYI, I was never going to mine GME to begin with until one of your coin devs starting giving me crap about pointing out a flaw in Ahmed Bodi's pool. A flaw where a miner could mine at twice the normal scrypt speed, produce all rejects and still accumulate paid shares.
I would be very careful about asking me to prove otherwise when I say I am not attacking your coin. If you would like I can absolutely demonstrate the difference between simple mining and killing it so that you won't be confused in the future.
I await your answer.

such a menacing/threatening response is uncalled for, people are well aware of your feats. Some respect you some loathe you, making statements like this has the effect of making the yes become a no. your work has weeded out weak coins and helped people figure out issues let's keep it that way... just my two penises.
